Couple of shots at work. Heading out to playground duty. Wearing under a top coat. Figure that will help break it in.

Cool look but I fear for your dress shirt… did it not get crocked tf?

[Yogi217]

@neph93

yeah, it was a little blue after, but I'm confident the indigo will come out at the cleaners. If not, it's not my best shirt!

Tbh, I was more worried about the tie!

I switched to blue today to help with that!

At work and after work!

Question: do I need to soak this or can I just wear it as is? I noticed on the care card that soaking helps lock in the stitching. I think right now, I'd prefer not since I like the fit.

I know it's lightly sanfordized, but Gile said to treat as raw: and the post shrunk results seemed more dramatic than the 71's.

If I should soak, I saw 40 C is recommended, but can I still lock stitching at a cooler temp to minimize shrinking? If so, about what temp?

Thanks!

Any soak will help to embed the stitching. Only heat and agitation will cause shrinkage.

Just as an FYI, I did a fairly hot soak and did not see any noticeable differences in sizing before/after. I would soak in cold water if I were you just to be on the safe side.

Holy shit that's some great wear @Zein1505 . Was waiting for the 14 oz black x black but now I'm debating…

Update :

Wait, in less than three months, your jacket faded this much? Was it an artificial fade? Genuine interested in how this evo occurred so rapidly. Thx!

The double indigo denim fades very quickly at the points where it creases while staying dark elsewhere. The result is high contrast fading especially at the elbows, hems etc.

Add to this the fact that @Zein1505 wears his everyday in a tropical climate and Bob’s your uncle. I have a strong impression that he wears his denim hard with no f@@ks given too. That always helps.

Like Neph said and he has been wearing his hard since Dec or Nov of last year, so a lot longer than 3 months.
